Baby Boy Baptism

My fiance´s aunt asked me to make a card fora baptism. This is what I came up with.The baby´s mother is my fiance´s cusin,and I was so disappointed when she told me whatshe was going to name the baby. Completely irrational,but Håkon was the name we had as a backup in caseSofie was a boy, and we always intended to use it if weever had a boy. It was the name of his grandfather,and the middle name of his father, so it would have beenvery special to use. But hey, we have no guarantee ofever having a boy, I'm not even pregnant, so we justhave to be to have a little Håkon in the family. :)

The papers I have used are from Maja Design and Magnolia.I used a square doily, lace and cheese cloth from Ribbon Girl.The flag pole is a paper straw, I added a blue crown pinto the top.

The big metal corners was embossed,and I used flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.The film strip and leaf dies are from Tim Holtz.

The big flower is from Prima. The die swirl-leaf was embossed,painted white, I added pearls and then covered it with Star Dust Stickles.I added some acrylic paint to all the flowers.

I seem to have forgotten how to paint, so I had to try twice toget a proper image. Guess I need to color more.I used Distress Reinkers.Aaand I am totally in love with embossing.I used a Magnolia Swirl Stamp and embossed white around the edges,before I added chunky white Frantage and embossed some more...I also used Chalkboard Glimmer Mist, and Star Dust Stickles.

Oh MY!!! This is just the most beautiful baby boy card!! Your colouring is fabulous Anne, and you always add the perfect embellishments.Hakon is a lovely name and I can understand you would be a little disappointed if you had wanted to use the name in the future.

Inspite of your dissapointment you made a lovely card, very delicate and with beautiful coloring. I can understand the dissapointment though, recognize it. My daughter wanted to call her child Emma, and two weeks before the birth one of her friends gave birth to a daughter... Emma! Well... My granddaughter is a lovely Emmy!! 😃

Oh my dear Anne! You most certainly did NOT forget how to paint! Your colouring is absolutely GORGEOUS beyond words .. I loooove it! And your card .. sigh .. it is simply PRECIOUS, DARLING, BEAUTIFUL, STUNNING .. wow wow wow! Every single thing on here .. I love!

I'm sorry to read about the name ... :( I can truly understand how disappointing it is .. but I know when the time comes for you .. you and your fiance will have another BEAUTIFUL name for your special one. :)

Such a beautiful creation Anne with so many adorable details, love your amazing colouring and all the gorgeous embossing!Thanks for joining us at Simply Magnolia with Lace and Pearls and good luck!Hugs Nicola xxx
